Pay the Witnesses.

Grant parish is now in condi-
ton to pay witnesses in criminal
matters. Will it be done +? Not
unless an urgent demand is made
and backed up by a show of un-
mistakable earnestness. 1t is an
outrage upon decency that some
provision has not been made for
this purpose long since. Let jury
warrants and witness scrip be
placed upon the same footing.
There is no law to warrant the
payment of jurors in full, while
Witnesses have to give their SER
vices for nothing. Our police jury
should correct this evil at an early
day. How can prompt and effec-
tive administration of justice be
expected when the payment of
those who serve the public is SO
unequal

The name of our former fellow
citizen, T. H. Thorpe, Esq, being
mentioned at a late meeting in
AvoyeIles parish for Congressman,
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Hon. e. w. Robertson,
he was endorsed and recommended
to the parish and district to Eli the
vacancy, Resolutions were also
passed endorsing the administra-
ton OF Gov. McEnery. From this
it seems that the gubernatorial
controversy is to be injected into
the Congressional canvass in that
district, and that Mr.. Thorpe casts
his lot with the ring faction. We
have no definite idea of the strength
Of the factions in that district, but
understand that both have their
following, and there is to be no
compromise between them. So the
fight in that district may be ex-
pected to be both warm and in
teresting.
